    I've been doing a little research. It seems when the gas prices went up to around .99-1.20 in 2005, people were screaming, protesting, newspapers were writing furiously for gas price relief. Now forward to 2008. Nothing. No protests, little media attention. Hmm....think we need to do something people?! I live in Ottawa, I can get to Parliament Hill, anyone else wanna join me? That's nice if oil is dropping in price, so why not at the pumps? Enough is enough!

    Muset -- your quasi-communist rethoric is amusing, but there is a reality out there. How about US is our by far the largest market, so if they stop buying, we stop selling, and half the Canada shuts down.

    It's amazing how long the BoC are able to make up flimsy excuses and lies to explain away why the Canadian dollar is being pinned to the US dollar. The real reason is because of the North American Union. The NAU is also the reason why the neo-con government is aligning our laws and our values with the US.

    A lower dollar is better for an export nation like Canada. The question is how much lower. I feel $0.60 US was too low. Maybe $0.88-$0.92?

    For us, this means nothing. No price retreat at the pumps. Didn't retreat the last time the prices 'adjusted' themselves.

    Wow they are going public and actually announcing that OIL prices are RETREATING, now before when the prices would drop they wouldnt jump out to yahoo and post and article...this is good news, usually when something is announced like this its the start of a steady fall on oil prices...lets hope.

    Wake up people it is all a game to get the Amero up and running that is why the dollar is at par so the three North American governments can say oh its worth the same so why not use the same currency.Google search The American Union or The Amero to learn more. You are losing your Canadian soverinty as I write this.George Bush is the DEVIL!
